Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Cheng Luo had just suffered a solid blow to her stomach, and it was so painful that her face turned pale. Now, as long as she moved slightly, her entire body would tremble violently.

The stomach was the weakest part of the human body.

Yue Ming did not hold back. It was impossible for Cheng Luo to stand up before the countdown.

It seemed that she had already lost this round.

The judges were restless, but no one dared to stop the assessment first.

After all, they knew very well that Shi Man would definitely lose if they spoke.

That might indirectly offend Chief Lu!

However, they were afraid of offending Shi Man, but some people were not!

Chu Yue glanced at the time and said coldly, “Shi Man, shouldn’t you announce that the assessment is over? If you delay it any longer, it will violate the rules. As an instructor, you should deal with it impartially. You can’t play favorites in front of so many people.”

As she looked fixedly at Shi Man’s side profile, smile gradually bloomed on her lips, and her eyes were filled with anticipation.

As long as Shi Man announced that Cheng Luo had failed this assessment, she would never have a chance to turn the tables!

However, Shi Man did not speak.

Chu Yue’s patience ran out. She turned around and said to another instructor, “Can you announce the results of this assessment? Cheng Luo clearly can’t stand up anymore. Is there any point in stalling for time now?”

The instructor, who was supervising the examination with Shi Man, felt his heart tighten. He subconsciously asked for Shi Man’s opinion. “Instructor Shi, do you think we can end the assessment now?”

Shi Man moved slightly, but there was no panic on her face. “Instructor Chen, according to the rules, there’s still a minute before the assessment ends. Why are you in a hurry?”

Instructor Chen blushed and nodded repeatedly. “Yes, look at my negligence just now. There’s indeed a minute left. Then let’s wait a little longer!”

Chu Yue glared at Instructor Chen and said impatiently, “Is there any point in waiting for this minute? Could it be that Cheng Luo can defeat Yue Ming in this minute? She can’t even stand up now. Do you want Yue Ming to beat her to death on the stage?”

Instructor Chen’s forehead was already covered in sweat.

These two were both students of Chief Lu, and he could not afford to offend either of them. He could try his best to reduce his presence so that he would not be implicated in the battle.

Shi Man did not show any panic because of her words. Instead, she said calmly, “The battlefield is ever-changing. You can do many things in a minute. Instructor Chu, can’t you even wait for this little time?”

“Alright!” Chu Yue gritted her teeth in hatred. “I’ll see if your good student can turn the tables in this minute!”

It was simply a fool’s dream to overcome the pain in her stomach and stand up to defeat an opponent that she could not defeat in the first place!

She would give the two of them another minute and see what excuse they could use to brush them off!

At the event location, Yue Ming looked down at the girl crawling at his feet, and his eyes filled with mockery. “Aren’t you going to admit defeat? You and Instructor Shi can’t beat me. Admit defeat as soon as possible. I can still show mercy.”

“No…” Cheng Luo’s eyes turned cold as she struggled to arch her back.

She was trembling in pain now, but there was no thought of admitting defeat in her mind.

She had to stand up and continue fighting.

This was the only thought in Cheng Luo’s heart.

With this thought in mind, her figure moved. She suddenly struggled to get up and stood on her feet shakily. “Yue Ming, I have to beat you today. Continue.”

She wiped the blood flowing down the corner of her mouth and raised her fist again with bloodshot eyes. A bloodthirsty cold glint flashed across her eyes.

Yue Ming’s mocking smile deepened. He narrowed his eyes and said, “You asked for it!”

With that, he suddenly attacked again.

Cheng Luo grunted and endured the pain in her stomach. She suddenly dodged. Yue Ming gathered all his strength in his hand, but the force he released was as light as cotton.

Another attack was easily resolved by Cheng Luo.

Yue Ming’s eyes were filled with jealousy. “You and Instructor Shi cheated! We already said when we made the bet that we had to undergo the same training! But you secretly learned this move from her!”

“I didn’t learn it secretly,” Cheng Luo said weakly. “You were the one who was arrogant and unwilling to obey orders. Think about it carefully. During the days of training, how many times did you really obey Instructor Shi’s orders?”

Yue Ming’s heart skipped a beat. He thought of the days when Instructor Shi brought them to rest at the side, but he continued to sweat profusely. He suddenly shook his head and said, “That’s impossible. I just didn’t listen to her to watch the commotion like a piece of trash. How could I be so different from you so quickly?”

Cheng Luo lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, “Instructor Shi is right. Everyone has their own areas of expertise. Men have the advantage of men, but women are not necessarily weak. They are just not good at stimulating their potential!”

Her words were powerful and resonated with the surrounding women.

For so long, they had always been treated differently from men, whether in the army or in society..
